Crash Data Collection
Monday, July 15
9:00 am to 11:30 am
Millions of dollars are spent annually to make our highways safe and efficient,
with most safety improvements resulting from the analysis of crash information
at specific locations. The Crash Data Collection class will teach you how to log
in to the Oklahoma's Safe-T System where you will be able to access crash
data for your area. This 2 1/2 hour class will be conducted by Ken Hess,
Oklahoma DOT, Traffic Engineering Division, Collision Analysis & Safety
Branch.
Reliable and accurate data are needed for a variety of purposes, including
advocating for road safety, identifying specific problems and risks, setting targets, formulating appropriate strategies,
and attaining funding.
A Federal Register call for Tribal Transportation Program safety projects is expected later this month.
